I decided to use an animation character for my piece. Normally its all based on celebs but I wanted to focus on other type of Pop Culture references. So for this piece I was inspired to do Gluttony from the anime called Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
He has 2 forms, one being his regular form and another where he splits his mouth and belly open to reveal an eye and ribcage-like teeth.


I wanted to do the 2nd form cuz I thought it be more fun and interesting and would keep the same feel as the Monster vs Gaga piece I did.

Anyways, take a look at the progress... the doll should be completed in another week or so, hopefully. :D
